Need foundation repair, bowed basement wall
One wall in my basement is bowing in due to previous drainage issues, that have since been cleared up. I had a structural engineer advise it needs to be reinforced with anchor, or a bracing system. He gave me a referral and I have someone coming in next week.
I would like to get a few more bids though, so I would appreciate any other referrals.

I'd have the engineer draw something up depending on the severity, I did one a few years back for a client the foundation was in bed rock and alot of water pressure against it,we back filled 3/4 of the wall with gravel to drain it and relieve the pressure then installed I beams along the interior back wall to reinforce it. Good luck
